A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

I run a few groups, like @fediversenews@venera.social, mostly on Friendica. It's okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.

Currently, I'm testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It's in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it's coming along nicely.

Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.

All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!

Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.

Loving it so far. Once you get used to how you connect to other instances it's a breeze.

Like you said Jerboa, is really coming along nicely and is easy to use.

Can't reysee myself using Reddit much any more tbh

I'm trying to use jerboa, but I haven't been able to figure out how to subscribe to communities on other instances. Even if i have the url

[–] ccx@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enter https://yourinstance.example.com/c/somecommunity@otherinstance.example.com into your URL bar and it should come up after a bit and let you subscribe. Some instances have blacklists you can find under the "Instances" link down bottom, but usually this should do the trick.
